Daily painting #359. 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel
I have had quite a few people ask me how I feel about turning 40. Quite frankly it feels no different to any other birthday and I certainly don't feel like I am about to hit a major (midlife) crisis....nor do I feel like life is about to begin (apparently life only begins at 40) ! Actually I have a feeling that tomorrow (today by the time you read this post) will feel pretty much the same as any other special day surrounded by my awesome family! I am quite sure too that the day after will feel pretty much the same too! I am glad I am not buying into the whole "life begins at 40" story or I might be setting myself up for disappointment! I think what I am trying to say is that I am really quite happy with how life is treating me right now and I don't think it has anything to do with age and everything to do with choices.....to choose to be happy and grateful is a fine thing! Long may that last...regardless of my age! So tomorrow I will celebrate a coming of an age feeling grateful for all that has passed and hopeful and enthusiastic for all that is still to come!
A special Paintings in the post follower in Canada is celebrating her 60th birthday on the same day as me....so "Happy birthday Martine....from me to you! xx" (I hope you get around to reading this post)
Lastly I have some exciting news to share.....
